Economy
Value
Sound purchase. Get loads for your money. Ppssst... mine currently does 40mpg if you take it easy on a run, 30 around town.
Costs
Expensive service labour if you go to dealer. If it breaks, watch out!

Living with it
Reliability
SAAB mechanic told me the 9000 engine is bombproof... as long as you service at right times.
Image
Your driving an old SAAB... if you want image, buy a Ferrari.
Comfort
Quiet inside. Seats are a dream. Climate control makes keeping cool or warm as easy as umm... pressing one button.
